Ramandolo
- Earliest release
- November of the year after the harvest
Ramandolo is a sweet wine made solely from Verduzzo Friulano, also recognized in a Riserva style.
A golden sweet white wine from the hills of Nimis and Tarcento.
The defined Ramandolo area lies on high and medium hills near Monte Bernadia. Steep slopes and terraces shape the vineyards. Verduzzo Friulano gives the wine its distinctive combination of sweetness and tannic texture, which the specification describes as more or less pronounced.
The specification’s account of the area describes late harvesting, often with some drying on the vine. The production rules permit grape drying on the vine or in suitable rooms, including climate-controlled rooms or forced ventilation. They also allow wooden barrels for vinification and maturation. These are permitted practices, not a promise that every bottle follows the same process.
Ramandolo is sweet, with a texture that can be tannic. Try a glass alongside our Cjarsons recipe, whose filling combines raisins and cinnamon.
